                  (v) participating in media interviews by telephone, or other
         media opportunities and speaking engagements, so long as his schedule
         permits (with Portman being entitled to receive a per diem and expense
         reimbursement for such participation (other than telephonic interviews)
         in accordance with Section 4 hereof);

                  (vi) assisting Buyer in developing a media plan directed
         toward vertical journals;

                  (vii) assisting Buyer in establishing a sports and scientific

                  (viii) providing Buyer scientific input with respect to

expected or obligated as part of the Services provided under this Agreement to

relating to the Services.

Buyer. Buyer acknowledges that Portman remains employed by Seller, that
Portman's primary responsibility during the term of this Agreement will be to
act as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of Seller (or
pursuant to another employment or independent contractor arrangement on behalf
of Seller), and that the amount of time and energy that Portman will be able to
devote to the Services may from time to time be limited by such primary
responsibilities. Except for media opportunities for which Portman is entitled
to receive a per diem in accordance with Section 4(b), the parties anticipate
that Portman will devote approximately 130 hours of his time to performing the
Services during any calendar year (though the parties acknowledge that the
amount of time and effort could be less or more during any year depending on
specific circumstances). The parties further acknowledge that the Services
provided by Portman hereunder are in addition to the general cooperation to be
provided by Seller pursuant to Section 5.16 of the Asset Purchase Agreement and
the other obligations of Seller thereunder. Portman will not be deemed in breach
of this Agreement if his schedule renders him unavailable for specific meetings,
calls or events, provided that Portman in general continues to make good faith
and reasonable efforts to be available at reasonable times as requested by Buyer
and to arrange mutually acceptable alternative times for such activities.

         (d) By acknowledging and accepting this Agreement, Seller hereby
consents to, authorizes and approves the execution, delivery and performance by
Portman of his obligations under this Agreement and Seller and Portman hereby
confirm to one another and to Buyer that such actions will not be deemed to
cause a breach of, or an acceleration of rights under, any employment,
severance, benefit or similar agreement or arrangement in effect on the date
hereof between Seller and Portman. Furthermore, Seller and Portman each
acknowledges that (i) Portman's agreements contained herein are an integral part
of the transactions and arrangements contemplated by the Asset Purchase
Agreement and the value expected to be obtained by Buyer in entering into the
Asset Purchase Agreement, (ii) that Seller and Portman are receiving direct and
indirect benefits and sufficient consideration from Buyer for Portman's
agreements and Seller's acknowledgements contained in this Agreement and (iii)
that, absent Portman's entering into this Agreement, Buyer would not have
entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement or the License Agreement.

         SECTION 3. Certain Limitations and Agreements.

         (a) Buyer shall at all times have the exclusive right to determine and
control the scope and extent of any research, development, testing or marketing
efforts being undertaken in connection with this Agreement. It is expressly
acknowledged and agreed that nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) limit
or restrict the ability of Buyer to accept, reject or terminate any obligation
or undertaking to any customer or prospective customer, (ii) create any
obligation on the part of Buyer to enter into any contract or agreement with any
customer or prospective customer or (iii) without limiting Seller's rights to
operate under the License Agreement, entitle or permit Portman to be a party to
or beneficiary of, or to have any rights under, any contract or agreement with
any customer.

         (b) In connection with his activities under this Agreement, Portman
shall (i) comply at all times with all applicable laws and regulations and (ii)
comply with all ethical, professional, security and other policies, standards
and procedures of Buyer that are generally applicable to Buyer's employees or
contractors and are communicated to Portman in writing reasonably in advance of
their applicability to him.

         (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as allowing or
granting to Portman the right, power or authority to (i) market any products or
services utilizing the Assets or other assets or business of Buyer (including,
but not limited to, the Developed Products) or (ii) create any obligation,
express or implied, or make any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
on behalf of Buyer; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to
diminish the rights of Seller under the License Agreement.

         SECTION 4. Compensation; Reimbursement of Expenses.

         (a) The consideration to Portman hereunder consists primarily of the
direct and indirect benefits flowing to Seller and Portman (both as a
stockholder and officer of Seller) from Buyer pursuant to the Asset Purchase
Agreement and the License Agreement (including without limitation the Closing
Payment, the agreement to pay Royalty Payments, and the grant of certain
licenses), the provision to Portman of access to certain confidential and
proprietary information about Buyer on the date hereof and from time to time
during the term of this Agreement, and the mutual covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no
additional cash compensation is contemplated to be provided to Portman pursuant
to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Services requested from
time to time by Buyer require efforts by Portman on an annual basis
substantially in excess of those contemplated in Section 2, then Portman and
Buyer may determine to negotiate a reasonable additional consulting fee, to be
mutually agreed by the parties.

REDACTED

         (b) If Portman participates at Buyer's request in media opportunities
or speaking engagements (other than telephone interviews) related to the [RTD
DEVELOPED PRODUCTS]* and such opportunity or engagement is not of the type that
Portman would otherwise be participating in on behalf of Seller in the ordinary
course of business, Buyer will pay Portman a per diem of $2000, plus
reimbursement of expenses in accordance with Section 4(c).

         (c) Buyer shall reimburse Portman for all reasonable telephone, travel
and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in the due and proper
performance of the Services under this Agreement in accordance with Buyer's
policies and procedures that are from time to time generally applicable to
Buyer's employees and contractors, as communicated to Portman in writing
reasonably in advance of their applicability to him. Except as otherwise
specified in any such policies and procedures, for any expense to be
reimbursable hereunder, it must be approved in advance and in writing by Buyer.
Within ten days after the end of each calendar month, Portman shall submit to
Buyer an invoice reflecting the amounts payable to Portman for expenses incurred
during such month. Each such invoice shall be accompanied by such supporting
documentation as Buyer may request from time to time.

         SECTION 5. Confidential Information.

         (a) Portman hereby acknowledges that in connection with the performance
of the Services hereunder Buyer will on the date hereof and may from time to
time thereafter provide or make available to Portman certain confidential and
proprietary information, including information relating to the businesses,
products, technology, services, customers, prospective customers, methods or
tactics of Buyer (any such confidential or proprietary information which is
marked or identified, orally or in writing, as "confidential," "privileged" or
"proprietary" or which could reasonably be understood to be confidential or
proprietary as a result of the nature of the information or the manner or
circumstances under which it is provided, being hereinafter referred to as
"Confidential Information"). Portman further acknowledges that the Confidential
Information includes certain trade secrets and other Assets (as defined in the
Asset Purchase Agreement) and agrees that any such trade secrets and other
Assets shall remain the property of Buyer at all times during the term of this
Agreement and after the expiration or termination hereof. Portman shall not
publish, disseminate, distribute, disclose, sell, assign, transfer, copy,
commercially exploit, or otherwise make use of any Confidential Information to
or for the use or benefit of Portman or any other person, firm, corporation or
entity (including, but not limited to, Seller), except as specifically
authorized in writing by Buyer or as required for the due and proper performance
of his duties and obligations under this Agreement. In addition, Portman shall
employ safeguards and precautions to ensure that unauthorized access to the
Confidential Information is not afforded to any person, firm, corporation or
entity, and such safeguards and precautions shall be at least equivalent to
those which Portman uses to protect his own similar information and in any event
not less than reasonable under the circumstances. Upon any expiration or
termination of this Agreement, or if Buyer so requests at any time, Portman
shall promptly return to Buyer all Confidential Information in Portman's
possession, without retaining any copies, extracts or other reproductions
thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5
shall prevent the use or disclosure by Portman of any information which (i) is
generally available to the public at the time of the use or disclosure thereof
(other than through (x) a breach by Portman of any of the terms or provisions
hereof or (y) a breach by Seller of any confidentiality obligations owed to
Buyer, whether pursuant to or in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement or
the License Agreement (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) or
otherwise), (ii) is lawfully obtained by Portman from a source other than
Seller, Buyer or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
agents or other representatives (provided, that such source is not bound by a
confidentiality agreement with Buyer or Seller and is not otherwise under an
obligation of secrecy or confidentiality to Buyer or Seller), or (iii) is
required to be disclosed by applicable legal process (provided, that Portman
complies fully with the provisions of Section 5(b)).

         (b) If Portman is requested (whether by oral questions, interrogatory,
request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other legal
process) to disclose any part of the Confidential Information, Portman shall (i)
give prompt written notice to Buyer of the existence of, and the circumstances
attendant to, such request, (ii) consult with Buyer as to the advisability of
taking legally available steps to resist or narrow any such request or otherwise
to eliminate the need for such disclosure, and (iii) if disclosure is required,
cooperate with Buyer in obtaining a protective order or other reliable assurance
in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer that confidential treatment will be
accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information as is required to be
disclosed.

         SECTION 6. Ownership of Work Product.

         (a) Any and all analyses, evaluations, reports, memoranda, letters,
inventions, ideas, formulae, processes, methods, programs, manuals, clinical
data, clinical studies, test data, marketing data and products, which are
developed, originated, conceived, made or suggested by Portman in the
performance of any Services hereunder or otherwise directly or primarily related
to the Acquired Intellectual Property (collectively, the "Work Product"),
including, but not limited to, any of the foregoing that are developed,
originated, conceived, made or suggested during the term of this Agreement but
are completed or reduced to writing thereafter, shall be and remain the
exclusive property of Buyer. Portman does not represent or warrant that any
suggestions, ideas or other Work Product provided by him in the course of
performing the Services are or will be proprietary, subject to legal protection
or non-infringing on the rights of third parties; provided, that Portman will
promptly notify Buyer if he becomes aware of the likelihood that any suggestion,
idea or other Work Product provided by him hereunder may infringe a third
party's rights. Portman agrees to assign and hereby irrevocably assigns to Buyer
any rights, title and interests, including any copyright, which Portman may have
or hereafter acquire in and to the Work Product or any documents, papers,
records and other tangible media embodying such Work Product, whether now in
existence or acquired in the future.

         (b) Portman agrees to execute any and all powers of attorney,
applications, registrations, assignments, declarations, affidavits, and any
other papers in connection therewith, which Buyer deems necessary to perfect the
right, title and interest of the Acquired Intellectual Property and Work
Product, in Buyer. Portman further agrees to testify in any legal proceedings,
sign all lawful papers, execute all divisional, continuation,
continuation-in-part, reissue and substitute applications, make lawful oaths and
declarations, and generally do everything possible to vest title of the Acquired
Intellectual Property and Work Product in Buyer and to aid Buyer to obtain and
enforce proper protection for the Acquired Intellectual Property and Work
Product in all countries.

         (c) In the event that Portman develops or acquires Intellectual
Property Rights that are improvements to the Work Product or that are
Enhancements (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), Portman agrees to
promptly disclose and irrevocably assign, and hereby irrevocably does assign, to
Buyer such improvements or Enhancements, at no cost to Buyer. Portman agrees
further to execute any and all powers of attorney, applications, assignments,
declarations, affidavits, and any other papers in connection therewith, which
Buyer deems necessary to perfect the right, title and interest of such developed
or acquired Intellectual Property Rights in Buyer.

         (d) Portman agrees to fully comply with his ongoing duty to disclose
information material to patentability to the United States Patent & Trademark
Office (37 C.F.R. 1.56), with regard to any pending or future filed patent
applications of the Acquired Intellectual Property and Work Product.

         (e) Portman shall not acquire and shall not claim any ownership of the
Work Product, and shall not initiate any action that could destroy, damage or
impair in any way the ownership or rights of Buyer in the Work Product. Portman
shall not take any action, or assist any third party in taking any action, to
invalidate, challenge, or otherwise oppose the any intellectual property rights
of Buyer in or to the Work Product.

SECTION 7. Covenant Not to Compete.

         (a) In furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the Asset Purchase Agreement and in order to secure the interests of the
parties hereunder and thereunder, Portman hereby agrees that during the period
(the "Non-Competition Period") beginning on the Closing Date (as defined in the
Asset Purchase Agreement) and ending [REDACTED - CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED]*, Portman will not, directly or indirectly (whether acting alone or
through any of his Affiliates, as a member of a partnership or a joint venture,
as a shareholder, director or officer of a corporation or other entity or in
conjunction with any Person or in any other capacity whatsoever and whether by
investing in, or holding securities of, any corporation or other entity,
advancing or lending any funds to, making available any facilities, equipment or
other assets to any Person or assisting or participating in any other
transaction or arrangement whatsoever):

                  (i) conduct or engage or participate in any business or
         activity for the purpose of the research, development, testing,
         production, manufacture, marketing, sale or distribution of products of
         the type described in Schedule A hereto (the "Covered Products") in the
         geographical area specified in Schedule B (the "Territory"); or

                  (ii) solicit or accept business from any Person relating to
         the development, promotion or provision of Covered Products in the
         Territory;

provided, that Portman may engage in such activities solely for and on behalf of
Buyer as required in order to perform Services in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement; and provided, further, that Portman may engage in activities
permitted by the License Agreement or required by the Asset Purchase Agreement
to the extent performed solely for and on behalf of Seller in accordance with
the terms of the License Agreement or the Asset Purchase Agreement.

         (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) above, Portman may
own less than 5% of a class of securities of any company as a passive investment
(so long as Portman does not assist or participate in conduct of the business of
such company otherwise than through the ownership of such securities and does
not exercise control over such company).

         (c) Portman expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Section 7
contains reasonable limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of
activity which were negotiated by the parties on an arm's-length basis, (ii)
Portman has heretofore been directly or indirectly engaged in the development,
sale or distribution of Covered Products in a substantial portion of the
Territory and (iii) in light of the activities heretofore engaged in by Portman,
either directly or indirectly through Seller or otherwise, the interests of the
parties hereto and the nature of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Section 7 is reasonable and does not
impose a greater restraint on Portman than is necessary to protect the goodwill
and other business interests associated with the business to be conducted
utilizing the Assets (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement).

         (d) It is expressly understood and agreed that if any of the provisions
of this Section 7 is held to be unreasonably broad, oppressive or unenforceable
by a court or other Governmental Entity (as defined in the Asset Purchase
Agreement), such court or other Governmental Entity (i) shall narrow the
Non-Competition Period and the Territory, as applicable, or shall otherwise
endeavor to reform the scope of such provisions in order to ensure that the
application thereof is not unreasonably broad, oppressive or unenforceable and
(ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall enforce such provisions as so
reformed.

         SECTION 8. License of Rights to Use Portman's Name; Nondisparagement.

         (a) Portman hereby grants to Buyer and Buyer accepts a non-exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free license for the use of Portman's name or part thereof,
nickname, image, likeness, voice, live or recorded performance, photograph,
facsimile signature, biographical material, statements and any similar materials
(collectively, "Portman's Endorsement") in the packaging, marketing, and sale of
Developed Products (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) or as otherwise
reasonably related thereto. Portman will have the right to pre-approve all uses
of Portman's Endorsement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Any
use submitted to Portman for his approval will be deemed to have been approved
if the same is not expressly disapproved in writing by Portman within five
business days after receipt by Portman. From time to time Buyer may request that
Portman provide approval of the use of Portman's Endorsement on an expedited
basis and Portman will use reasonable efforts to comply with such expedited
requests. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the term of the
license granted in this Section 8(a) shall commence on the Effective Date and
shall continue in full force and effect until [REDACTED - CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

         (b) During the term of the license granted in Section 8(a), except as
otherwise required by applicable law, (i) Portman shall not, directly or
indirectly, make any statement (orally or in writing) which disparages Buyer or
its Affiliates identified on Schedule C (as updated from time to time by written
notice to Seller, the "Identified Buyer Affiliates") or any of their products
(including any Developed Product (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement)),
presents Buyer or the Identified Buyer Affiliates or any such product in an
unfavorable light or otherwise materially harms the commercial viability of any
such product, and (ii) Buyer shall not, and shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause its employees, officers, directors, agents and Affiliates to
not, make any statement (orally or in writing) which disparages Portman or
presents Portman in an unfavorable light. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Person from making a statement that has a
potential negative effect if such statement (i) is not made recklessly or with
intention to harm the other party or its Affiliates, their products or the Brand
Names; (ii) is reasonable and based upon facts published in peer-reviewed
scientific studies; and (iii) is necessary in order to respond accurately to a
direct question from the media regarding the scientific properties or effects of
a product with respect to which the Person making the statement is an expert;
provided, that the Person making the statement uses reasonable efforts to avoid
making a statement that would be viewed as disparaging the other party, its
Affiliates, its products or the Brand Names.

         SECTION 9. Termination.

         (a) If Portman or Buyer materially or repeatedly breaches any of its or
his obligations under this Agreement, which breach is not cured within 30 days
after written notice thereof is given to the breaching party specifying the
nature of the breach, then the non-breaching party may, upon giving written
notice of termination to the breaching party, terminate this Agreement as of a
future date specified in such notice of termination.

         (b) If the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated in accordance with
its terms prior to the occurrence of the Closing (as defined therein), then this

misconduct in the performance by Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement,

only be relieved of its obligations under this Section 10 if and to the extent
that Portman is materially prejudiced thereby.

         SECTION 11. Relationship of the Parties. The parties acknowledge that
Portman is an employee of Seller. The relationship of Portman to Buyer in

Portman to any of the benefits, privileges or other amenities of employment by
Buyer.

and validly given (a) if delivered in person, upon delivery, (b) if delivered by
United States mail (first class and with postage paid thereon), 72 hours after
being placed in a depository of the United States mails and (c) if delivered by

confirmation of successful transmission.

         SECTION 13. Amendment; Waivers. The terms and provisions of this
Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written instrument executed by
each of the parties hereto, and compliance with any term or provision hereof may
be waived only by a written instrument executed by each party entitled to the
benefits of the same. No failure to exercise any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege granted hereunder.

         SECTION 14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Asset
Purchase Agreement and the other documents executed in connection therewith and
specified therein, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof.

         SECTION 15. Parties in Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns (it being understood and agreed that, except as expressly
provided herein, nothing contained herein is intended to confer upon any other
person or entity any rights, benefits or remedies of any kind or character
whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement). No party may assign this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided,
however, that without the consent of any other party, Buyer may assign this
Agreement, or its rights and benefits hereunder, to (i) any of its Affiliates
(provided that such assignment to Buyer's Affiliate does not make Portman's
compliance with this Agreement significantly more difficult for Portman) or (ii)
subject to the consent of Portman, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to
any transferee of all or a substantial portion of the Acquired Intellectual
Property (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement).

         SECTION 16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas (except that no
effect shall be given to any conflicts of law principles which would require the

         SECTION 17. Consent to Service. The parties hereto consent to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Texas and any of the courts of Dallas County, State of Texas having
subject matter jurisdiction in a dispute arising under this Agreement and hereby
waive any objection to personal jurisdiction or venue in any suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court in connection with this Agreement and the
each party further agrees that service of process or notice in any such action,
suit or proceeding shall be effective if in writing and sent to such party by
certified or registered mail (return receipt requested and with postage prepaid
thereon) to the location specified as its address for notice in or pursuant to
Section 12.

         SECTION 18. Severability. In the event any provision contained herein
shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability thereof shall not affect any other
provision hereof, it being understood and agreed that (a) such invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be modified to the extent
necessary to render it valid, legal and enforceable without altering the intent
thereof or (b) if such modification is not possible, this Agreement shall be
construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been
contained herein.

         SECTION 19. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof. Accordingly,
the parties agree that each of them shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief
to prevent breaches of the terms of this Agreement and to obtain specific
performance of the terms hereof and thereof, in addition to any other remedy now
or hereafter available at law or in equity, or otherwise.

         SECTION 20. Certain Rules of Construction. The Section headings
contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in
no way define, limit, extend or otherwise describe the scope or intent of any
provisions set forth in this Agreement. In addition, as used in this Agreement,
unless the context otherwise requires, (a) all references to days, months or
years shall be deemed references to calendar days, months or years and (b) all
references to "Sections" shall be deemed to refer to a Section of this
Agreement.

         SECTION 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

         SECTION 22. Rights Reserved by Portman. Buyer acknowledges that the
principal business of Portman is to work with Seller to develop, commercialize
and license nutritional products. Buyer acknowledges that Portman is presently,
and in the future may continue to be, engaged in developing products and
technology (including for appetite suppression, management of type 2 diabetes
and postoperative muscle recovery) that do not involve and are not related to
Covered Products, do not compete with or support competition with Covered
Products, and do not infringe the Acquired Intellectual Property (as defined in
the Asset Purchase Agreement). Nothing in this Agreement, the License Agreement
or the Asset Purchase Agreement (other than Section 5.10 of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, as it obligates Seller to provide Buyer certain rights of first
negotiation) shall be construed to limit or affect Portman's right to engage in
an asset sale, joint venture, strategic alliance, distribution agreement or any
other business relationship with any company (including any company that may
presently or in the future sell, distribute or otherwise market Covered
Products) so long as such transaction, arrangement or relationship does not
involve or relate to, or compete or support competition with, Covered Products
or involve the infringement of the Acquired Intellectual Property. Any
transaction or relationship involving only products and technology that do not
involve or relate to Covered Products, do not compete with or support
competition with Covered Products, and do not infringe on the Acquired
Intellectual Property will not be deemed a violation of Section 7 of this
Agreement.

         SECTION 23. Resolution of Disputes.

         (a) In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising under
this Agreement, including any question regarding the validity, interpretation,
scope, performance or enforceability of this dispute resolution provision (a
"Dispute"), Portman and a representative of Buyer (and, if applicable, Seller)
shall first meet informally, as often as reasonable and necessary, and endeavor
in good faith to resolve the Dispute without the necessity of any formal
proceeding relating thereto.

         (b) Any Dispute that the parties are unable to resolve informally may
be submitted to non-binding mediation upon the written request of any party to
the Dispute. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees, costs and expenses
with respect to the mediation, including one-half of the fees and expenses of
the mediator.

         (c) Any Dispute that the parties are unable to resolve through the
procedures set forth in Section 23(a) or (b) shall be submitted to binding
arbitration in accordance with the following procedures:

                  (i) Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, the
         arbitration itself and the governing rules and procedures for
         arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
         American Arbitration Association ("Rules").

                  (ii) The parties agree that any demand for arbitration must be
         in writing, detailed in its recitation of the facts and legal grounds
         for relief and in the total amount of damages claimed or remedy sought.
         The arbitration shall be held before a single, neutral arbitrator in
         Dallas, Texas, selected in accordance with the Rules.

                  (iii) It is the parties' intent that the discovery proceedings
         be conducted in a cost-effective manner. The parties' exclusive form of
         permissive discovery shall be requests for production of documents and
         disclosures of fact and expert witnesses and other persons with
         knowledge of facts, damage calculations, and witness statements. The
         parties may request the right to serve interrogatories and to take oral
         depositions upon a showing of need.

                  (iv) The parties expect to resolve any Dispute by expedited
         arbitration and the arbitrator shall issue the award no more than 90
         days after selection. In rendering an award, the arbitrator shall issue
         a reasoned, written decision applying the substantive and procedural
         laws of the State of Texas, which award shall be final and binding on
         the parties and not subject to appeal. Each party shall bear its own
         attorneys' fees, costs and expenses (including filing fees) with
         respect to the arbitration, including one-half of the fees and expenses
         of the arbitrator. The arbitrator may not, in any event, make any
         ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and
         conditions of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall have the authority
         to consider and decide a motion for summary judgment.

         (d) This Section 23 is the exclusive remedy for dispute resolution
between the parties, however, nothing in this provision shall prevent any party
from (i) seeking a temporary restraining order or injunctive relief with respect
to an alleged breach of this Agreement by the other party or (ii) instituting
litigation or other formal proceedings to the extent necessary (A) to enforce
the award of the arbitrator, (B) to avoid the expiration of any applicable
limitations period or (C) to preserve a superior position with respect to other
creditors. Except as set forth in this paragraph (d), no party shall take any
action with respect to any alleged breach of this Agreement or other dispute,
controversy or claim under the terms of this Agreement until completion of the
procedures set forth in this Section 23.
